They've all moved on and started doing different stuff. Growing old makes you lame (edit: wise)

LMAO yeah those pink gojira guys hahaha
aaron once drove from his place in OC to my place in Escondido just to pick up a free starter from me before an event, and good old BH used to talk shit to me on ziptied all the time hahaha yeah... good times.


I walked in to parts shop MAX to get my coilovers last year and tommy instantly recognized me after years, then looked like he saw a ghost haha
the matt powers showed up I was like damn its a reunion!!!

I'm not sure where Oahu is in the geography of Hawaii, so forgive me but check out toshihiro180sx and justindabull on instagram. They are fucking rippers from Hawaii.

Also sorry I am not trying to blow up this spot, nor know where it is, so please don't ask me!

Thats the one mountain I am talking about Oahu is the island that has Waikiki on it!

Used to go up there to try and drop knees on the bike. There are a few houses about 1/2 mile down that hill...as far as going up, I cant remember how far.

Fun place to go for sure

[x808drifter]

Yeah, its essentially in the middle of honolulu and is FAR from remote.

Expect maybe 3/5 good sldes before the cops show.

Also, cant blow up a spot that's been blown up since the 90's.
XD

That's why toshihiro808 just moved to Japan a few months back.

Yeah it suck what happened to drifting in hawaii when they banned it at the stadium. Still a beautiful place but its mostly show scene now. I have been there many times on navy ships that visit. I go get coco ichiban curry in pearl city every time!!! Miss getting it in yokosuka.
Mahalo bros!

I honestly dont know who that is . I was part of the original 86 club in 2013. Stopped attending sometime in 2015, new people started coming in at that point.

On a good note...the PSS really dont grip on the roads here. whatever compound they use is really bad...makes for easy slides!

[Shinchu]

pss slide everywhere. that's why they put them on this car!
doesn't the coral content of the road there make it even more slippery?
I never drove in HI just walked like a loser lol

Pilot Super Sports slide everywhere? Dunno...wasn't an issue in Hawaii or Cali. I thought my 3k mile trip to Texas ruined my last set, so I got another...not the case. They are even 245s! 2nd gear pulls get slip and I'm only running e85 with no other power mods.

One less car on the road...you helped traffic by walking!

[Shinchu]

my bad I was thinking of the cheap michilins that came with the car. forgot the pss are the "good" tires. that's crazy you just have an e85 tune and you can spin 245's in 2nd? all I have is perrin CAI and I don't think I could spin 245 in 1st lol


yeah walking is cool in Waikiki. less time parking, more time drinking lol and no DUI!

Its the asphalt out here I swear! You should be able to, I was spinning 1st with no mods and just an OFT 93 Stage 1 tune.

Not sure how many in here are from the North East, but I'll be going to Thompson speedway April 15th in Connecticut. Pretty stoked, will be the first event of the season and the maiden voyage of my Drift knuckles kit..
